What are Plissé retractable screens and how do they work?

The Screen Solutions Plissé (PLEE’-say) is the newest and most innovative of retractable screen designs. Screen Solutions is the pioneer in bringing these simple, elegant and cost effective screens to the American market. With this alternative to the complicated high-priced designs previously available you can now enjoy all the advantages of retractable screens at a lower price.

No Slamming

The tension provided by the tension lines in the Plisse retractable screens ensure that no springs, tensioners or dampeners are necessary (and so you don't have to worry about them failing either) and that the Plisse screen will stay put - wherever you put it.

Discreet Tension Lines

The genius of the Plisse retractable screen is in the tension lines: they run horizontally through the Plisse fabric and inside the entire frame, making sure that the screen fabric stays in place and everything works smoothly.

Teflon Infused Plastic for Lasting Smooth Operation

The Plisse retractable screen is designed with as few plastic pieces as possible but where plastic is necessary for sliding the screen open and closed we have infused it with Teflon to ensure, even as the plastic wears, you'll always have a smooth gliding retractable screen door.

Pet Friendly

Since the Plisse retractable screen doesn't need springs or tensioners to operate, you also don't have to worry about man's best friend getting hurt by your retractable screen flying open. The Plisse stays put wherever you put it and never slams or pops open unexpectedly.

The Screen Solutions Plissé has all of the features and benefits of the very best retractable screens.

An Innovative Retractable Screen Design

The Screen Solutions Plisse (pronounced plee-say) is an innovative retractable screen design that does away with all the complicated springs and bearings used in other retractable screens. The Plisse relies on the simple elegance of pleated screen fabric and operates in much the same way as a pleated blind. As you pull the bar across the opening the pleats open to give you all the protection of any screen system without all the complications.

Dimensions of the Plissé Retractable Screen

The Screen Solutions Plissé (pronounced plee-say) retractable screen for all styles of doors and windows has a modest footprint. You can see the exact dimensions in the diagram to your left.

Bear in mind that the bottom rail, if not counter-sunk or butted up next to an existing, raised threshold, can be a tripping hazard. We suggest our optional threshold adapter if this is the case with your doorway.

Plissé Retractable Screen – Six Signature Colors & More

Each of our retractable screens for doors or windows comes in six standard colors for no additional charge. Our colors options were carefully selected to match most exterior trim finishes.

To learn more about the Plissé Signature color line, special order colors and custom color matching, visit our Retractable Screen Colors page.

Can Quality Also Be Affordable? Yes!

We take pride in the quality craftsmanship of each of our Plissé retractable screens: custom building each screen in our Austin, Texas facility as well as quality testing every single unit before it ships.

So how is it that the Plissé style retractable screen can cost half of those other retractable screens out there? Well, we don’t sell in big box retail outlets. We sell direct to the homeowner and a select few dealers. We keep our overhead low and our quality high – then pass the savings on to you.
